Kennedy Family Endorses Joe Biden, Distances Itself from Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

During a gathering in Philadelphia, members of the Kennedy family publicly announced their endorsement for the re-election of President Biden, while simultaneously disapproving the presidential candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is one of the best-known Kennedys of this generation. The family's stance was voiced by Kerry, the younger sister of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who emphasized that the majority of Joe and Rose Kennedy's grandchildren are in favor of Joe Biden's presidency. She made it clear that the Kennedy family fully backs Joe Biden as the next president, with her siblings and President Biden himself standing by her side on stage.

This public declaration by Kerry is not the first time she has taken a stand against her brother. As Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed skepticism regarding Covid-19 vaccines and propagated conspiracy theories about their father's assassination, it has become Kerry's responsibility to distance the family from her brother's controversial views. Despite the emotional and close bond she shares with him, Kerry has stepped up to protect the family's proud and private legacy as it recedes from the political spotlight.

Kerry's prominent role in this matter is attributed to her enduring affection for her brother since their childhood days spent at the family estate in Hickory Hill, Va. Her current disappointment in his actions further fuels her proactive involvement. Additionally, she believes that her brother's unorthodox campaign poses a threat to President Biden's re-election and is mindful of the potential repercussions the family might face if Donald J. Trump were to return to the White House next year.
